We are International Ship Sales-Purchase-Charter brokers, in business for over 36 years and operating out of our office here in St. John's, Newfoundland. We have the following units described below, which we feel, may be of interest to you. Please see attached information on the Canadian heavy-lift barge "Marine Link Explorer" with 2 x 214 mt derricks and the twin-screw 3,470 hp Canadian tug. I have more information and a series of photos on these units which I can send to you as attachments to following e-mail. Please advise if you would like to see it. We feel that you may have a need for this marine equipment for use in installation of offshore turbines. Please note that the Canadian owner of the heavy-lift barge & tug would like to get US$5 million for both en bloc but I understand that he might well consider an offer in the range of US$3.75 - $4.25 million, if the deal could be closed cleanly and quickly. While he would prefer to sell both en bloc, he might consider selling them seperately. Can guide on the price of the units seperately. Units are in Eastern Canada. Please advise if you have any interest in these units and I will send along addition information and series of photos, etc. Thank you, success and regards, John A.
